Before you book Midland Van Lines
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1197300
Midland Van Lines can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1197300. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 10 out-of-service orders
10 of Midland Van Lines's 22 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (45.5%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Midland Van Lines files 1 tractor. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Alvarado at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,367 – $9,822. A surveyed, written estimate from Midland Van Lines far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
